Copilot now also in Microsoft Photos

The Photos app is probably one of the most overlooked apps in Windows 11 in terms of new features and updates, at least until late last year when Microsoft introduced AI capabilities to the platform, including support for removing and replacing image backgrounds.

But now it looks like the company is going to add even more AI goodness to the Photos app in Windows 11. According to Windows enthusiast PhantomOfEarth on the X portal (formerly Twitter), the Copilot plugin is built into the Photos app, which uses the GPT-4 (Turbo) and DALL-E 3 language models to operate. The new plugin is said to help with tasks such as creating slideshows and setting desktop backgrounds on a Windows computer.

The Copilot digital assistant is currently available in conjunction with the Photos app version 2024.11030.22001.0. In addition, the new option is limited only to a certain group of users. Gradually, it will become available to others.
